Touring with the Electric Powered Cycle Camper- Video – Ottawa to Fitzroy 2.0

Ottawa to Fitzroy- the second tour with the electric powered Cycle Camper was even better than the first. Click here to check out the video diary.

Touring with the Cycle Camper
On the Road with the Electric Powered Cycle Camper

This trip was in cool temperatures with cloud cover. A contrast from the full sun, hot conditions of the maiden journey. We took a different route also. We traveled along the Old Carp Road to the village of Carp. The journey along the Carp Escarpment was spectacular.

I arrived to the campsite with about 25% remaining on the battery. And to add some challenge to the weekend, I forgot to bring the battery charger so I was entirely dependent on the solar panel for the return trip. This was ok though because I wanted to test out driving without using the hub motor. I’m happy to report that the Electric powered cycle camper trailer rides well under pedal power alone. I used the power occasionally to get a break and on up hill stints. With only solar to charge the battery, I managed to complete the entire 50 KM ride back to Ottawa. I never ran out of power.

I also added a rechargeable electric fan to the cabin of the camper for this over-nighter. It worked nicely to keep the cabin cool and refreshed throughout the night.

Similar to the maiden journey I carried my cloths and essential in the Commuter PanPack attached to the rear rack of my bike. Shout out again to Mark B. who cycled up with all of his gear and tent packed in the World Tour PanPack. Great work on the camera too.

Overall an outstanding weekend tour, I cant wait for the next one!

World Tour / Day Panpack – piggyback mode

World tour/day panpack in piggy back mode
World Tour / Day panpack attached together

The world tour panpack is a full size (61 liters) internal frame backpack. And it converts into touring panniers that can be fastened to a standard rear pannier carrying rack. The Day panpack is a 16 liter backpack. It also converts into bike panniers and can be fastened to a standard front or rear rack.

Together the Day panpack and the World Tour model form a complete touring backpacking package. Consider the World Tour / day panpack combination for a versatile travel solution. This is because the day panpack can ride piggy back on the World tour model while in backpack mode!

Below is a video that shows the day panpack to world tour panpack attachment process.
